so as of late my computer has been blocking me from sending or receiving Bluetooth files from my mobile phone. every time I try I get the message of "windows was unable send some files, files transfer is disabled by policy. please check with your system administrator" I've checked and my profile is the admin profile for my laptop, but I haven't changed any setting to block Bluetooth. what am I doing wrong?

Fault trying to share photos from phone to laptop via Bluetooth


While waiting for replies I solved this - in Windows 10 by the following steps where -> means click/select.

1. Start -> Settings-> Devices -> Bluetooth.
2. At this point ensure Bluetooth is on and device you wish to make the transfer from is listed and paired.
3. At the bottom of the same page under Related Settings -> Send or receive files via Bluetooth -> Receive files.
   
4. The Waiting for connection page appears stay on this page and initiate the transfer from your device.
5. The file is being received window appears with a progress bar when this is complete you will be asked where to save the file and Finish

It appears these steps have to be performed for each individual file transferred therefore I've pinned the Settings window with Bluetooth selected to the task bar.
